you'd do the same to him

You think I care about the life of an [exceedingly cute goddammit] oversized fowl? It'd be for the best if you put it out of its misery now, considering it's been consigned to a fate of imprisonment within Retrospec headquarters.

[He grins, then clasps his fingers around the door handle. He doesn't pull just yet.]

But I'm feeling generous. On the count of three, you push as hard as you can, and I'll pull with the same amount of effort. Maybe the two of us can get this door open for you.

true tbh

Alright. [ Jack sets his hand on the knob, not turning it. ] On three.

One.

[ look he's a great friend he wants to do the dramatic count together. ]

[daemonized]

[As if Ardyn is ever going to argue against being dramatic. He lifts a brow, but-]

...Two.

[hjack69]

Three!

[ Cue Jack throwing his full weight into the door. Like, he stepped back and got momentum going and everything. ]

[daemonized]

[Whoop, and Ardyn just opens the door with only a modicum of effort, as easy as you please.

Which means the door was never really there long enough to stop all that momentum of Jack's. Ardyn figures this will either make for the most victorious exit ever, or the most embarrassing one.

He'd be pleased with either.]
